@proloy

OK, if you are using LC <= 7 then this should do:

on mouseUp
   repeat with x = 1 to number of buttons of grp "Checkboxes"
      if the hilite of btn x of grp "Checkboxes" then
         put the label of btn x of grp "Checkboxes" & cr after mylist
         
         ## Sure you don't mean something like this:
         ## put line x of fld "News" & CR after mylist
         ## ??? Since you mentioned "editing text".
      end if
   end repeat
   set the text of fld "Lower" to mylist
end mouseUp

Hi proloy,

you need to ZIP the stack(s) before uploading here!

Ich checked your stack, you have grouped some buttons and added a script to the group.
BUT thsi script will never be executed because:
1. You did not add a "trigger", "mouseup" in this case:

Code: Select all

repeat with x = 1 to number of buttons of grp "Checkboxes"
   if the hilite of btn x of grp "Checkboxes" then
      put the short name of btn x of grp "Checkboxes" & cr after myList
   end if
end repeat
put myList into fld Lower
## QUOTES missing here! -> fld "Lower"

2. The buttons in that group DO however have a "mouseup" script, which will get executed
but NOT the script of the group.

Hint:
A clever naming scheme is half the rent!
So since you want to get a line in a field with a click on the corresponding button,
you should do something like this:
a. Name ALL of your buttons with a SPACE:
Check 1
Check 2
etc...
b. Remove the "mouseup" script from every button!
C. Now you can group ALL of your buttons andf add a mouseup script to the group with this script:

Code: Select all

on mouseup
   put the short name of the target into tClickedButton
   ## Extract line number from clicked button name!
   put word 2 of tClickedButton into tTargetLineNumber
   ## Now do something with -> line tLineNumber of fld "News"
   put CR & line tLineNumber of fld "News" after fld ""Lower"
end mouseup

Best

Code: Select all

on mouseup
   put the short name of the target into tClickedButton ---which will be my target?
   ## Extract line number from clicked button name! --- is it "check"?
   put word 2 of tClickedButton into tTargetLineNumber
   ## Now do something with -> line tLineNumber of fld "News" --- what to do?
   put CR & line tLineNumber of fld "News" after fld ""Lower"
end mouseup

Hi proloy,

my fault, sorry!

Code: Select all

on mouseup
   put the short name of the target into tClickedButton ---which will be my target?
   ## Extract line number from clicked button name! --- is it "check"?
   put word 2 of tClickedButton into tTargetLineNumber
   ## put CR & line tLineNumber of fld "News" after fld ""Lower"
   put CR & line tTargetLineNumber of fld "News" after fld "Lower"
end mouseup

See the difference?

   ## Extract line number from clicked button name!
   put word 2 of tClickedButton into tTargetLineNumber
 end mouseup

you forgot the last and most important line of my script!

Code: Select all

...
 put CR & line tTargetLineNumber of fld "News" after fld "Lower"
end mouseup

Which should explain pretty well what I am doing here.

This is the script of the GROUP of checkboxes.
the short name of the target
-> Will return the name of the clicked CHECKBOX inside of the group like:
-> Check 2

SO "word 1" of this = Check
"word 2" of this = 2

So now we know the corresponding line number of field "News" that is "related" to that checkbox
and we can take that line from field "News" and do whatever we want to do with it.

Those are very helpful to read, you *may* also find the "Concepts & Techniques" and "Reference" sections of this stack of help to you to become better aquainted with Lc, it has a pretty good basic examples page and things listed in sections.

Code: Select all

on mouseup
   put the button "Check 1" into tClickedButton
   ## Extract line number from clicked button name!
   put word 2 of tClickedButton into tTargetLineNumber
   ## put CR & line tLineNumber of fld "News" after fld ""Lower"
   put CR & line tTargetLineNumber of fld "News" after fld "Lower"
end mouseup

no luck

Hi proloy,

Code: Select all

...
put the button "Check 1" into tClickedButton
...

return empty without error.
Please, try this as Klaus said:

Code: Select all

...
put the short name of the target into tClickedButton
...

Of course your btn name must have two words and last word must be an integer
Best regards
